Technology

We have powerful battleships, called dreadnoughts. We are looking for coastal areas, mainly in India, so we can drain their resources for our own good. Our East India Company has truly contributed to the formation of a powerful global network of trade! Many trading posts have been created in the coastal areas of India, allowing easy access, easy imports, and easy exports into and out of India.

Culture

We are attempting to influence Indian indigenous people to become more "Englishized." :) Our lords have told them that English education is worth the world, and should be the number one priority of an Indian citizen. To become English, is to become powerful.

Religion

We are Christian, and we have many Indian converts to Christianity. Soon, success and great wealth will be ours! World Domination!
